Antique Early 19th Century Bird Sewing Clamp with Pin Cushion

A rare and decorative sewing clamp dating from the early 19th century, this beautifully crafted piece is made from white metal and features an intricately embossed bird perched on top. The bird retains its original purple velvet pin cushion, adding both charm and authenticity.

The clamp below is detailed with fine scrollwork and floral embossing, typical of Georgian and early Victorian metalwork. Once clamped to a tabletop, it would have held fabric steady for hand stitching, offering both practical function and ornamental appeal.

The clamp is in very good antique condition, with light wear and age-related patina. The velvet pincushion shows wear and fading, typical for its age, but remains original. Note: The cotton reels are for styling only, they are not included in the sale.

A striking and collectable antique sewing tool.
